An Immersive Experience
Intuitive, powerful and precise, Kohler’s Anthem series of shower controls offers a bespoke and immersive experience
Kohler Co.’s latest bathroom innovation, Anthem is a series of shower controls that offers a bespoke, immersive experience. Available with digital or mechanical control panels, Anthem allows the user to control up to six water sources to customise temperature and flow.
It started with Kohler’s designers asking how the function of a showering collection could transform a daily routine into a wellness ritual that also accounts for different requirements across regions and countries. The result is Anthem, a comprehensive collection that can be specified and installed anywhere in the world.
‘A great shower is highly based on personal preference and should be completely within the control of the user,’ says Lun Cheak Tan, vice president of Kohler Industrial Design.
Anthem combines with Kohler’s Statement shower collection, a new range that includes hand showers, body sprays, rain heads and showerheads, and when used with Anthem valves and controls, each can be independently adjusted to reach the desired temperature and water flow. Options include a soft, warm spray from the overhead rain head or a strong, hot massage from the hand shower. Users can mix and match their preferences with Anthem digital controls and programme up to ten presets that can be used any time.
In its digital version, Anthem can be configured using a dedicated app and can be paired with voice assistants for voice-controlled use. Besides offering control over the valves, the app monitors shower temperature, duration and water usage, and features a warm-up mode that can purge cold water before the shower is started.
To better adapt to and enrich any bathroom design, the Anthem control and Statement shower collection are available in four contemporary finishes: Polished Chrome, Vibrant Brushed Nickel, Matte Black and Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass.
Both the digital and mechanical panels are meticulously engineered to adapt to global plumbing standards, and they’ve been precisely developed to elevate the showering routine to a next-level sensory event.
